Got a pedal slash on my calf last week. Now it's infected. I may die. The warning sign is an advancing red rash, but I'm too colour blind to see it ๐Ÿ™

FYI it's not the same as a fat arse

You've cut your leg, and now you're going to die?

Melodramatic, even for you

A guy I work with had an injury to his leg caused by falling of his moto cross bike, he fell into a muddy bog and it got infected.

At one point doctors wanted to remove his leg.

Barnes & Ton. Stop flirting and get a room FFS, this has been going on for months!

But do it quick before he swells up like an orange and dies.

Back to the OP. I got it in my arm after falling down some steps.

Get it checked out as it can turn nasty quickly.

I had cellulitis a few years ago, got whilst working. I had to go into a deeply unsanitary house and got bitten by some kind of bug, and my leg inflated like a ballon. Very sore for a couple of weeks. Then it went away and I had no more problems.

The girl I was working with was an ex nurse and told me that once you've had this you have it forever more in your system. Nice.

And when did you get calfs?
